Google has announced some big news related to Stadia, aimed at relaunching its cloud gaming service in different directions. Having lost the ambition as a video game publisher, Google seems to want to aim at strengthening the platform, making it more attractive for users and developers.
So for gamers, it will soon become possible to try trial versions of games on Stadia without paying anything and without even having to register, while developers will have dedicated tools to make the port of their titles much easier.
Let’s read all the main news announced by Google:
- Developers will be able to create a trial version of their games, accessible even without having a Stadia account. All it takes is a couple of clicks from YouTube, from an advertisement on Google Search, on social media or on any other site and you will enter the games.
- Users will be able to search for trial versions in the Stadia store without the need to connect with their Stadia or Google accounts.
- The ports of games developed with Unreal Engine and Unity will be easier thanks to tools such as DXVK, which will automatically translate the DirectX API. This way, developers won’t have to modify the renderers of their games in any way.
- Google partners, such as the giant AT&T, are given the opportunity to use Stadia’s technology to offer free demos or paid games fully managed by them. This is a B2B offer called ” Immersive Stream for Games “
